Our tour tip

Cool off in the crystal-clear water

Surrounded by lush meadows, this crystal-clear mountain lake reflects the surrounding mountain range. The color palette ranges from deep blue to turquoise. On hot summer days, Freibergsee beckons visitors for a refreshing dip. If you dare to plunge into the cool water, you'll quickly discover just how cold such a natural body of water can be – at the same time, it's an unforgettable experience! Tip for those who are sensitive to the cold ;) At Freibergsee, you can also rent a boat or admire the view from the café.

Other mountain lakes

The natural bathing lake at Hotel Oberstdorf is the perfect place to relax and unwind in spring, summer, and autumn. Breathe in the Allgäu with every breath.

Did you know? There's a natural bathing lake in our garden, where you can prepare your body for a dip in the Freibergsee ;)

Let yourself be enchanted by the Allgäu mountains

The birdsong, the sweet scent of flowers, and a sky so blue you'd love to swim in it. Especially during your summer vacation in Oberstdorf in the Allgäu region, you'll experience an indescribable natural spectacle in the mountains. Tip: The Oberstdorf Kleinwalsertal cable cars will quickly whisk you up to 2,000 meters in the Allgäu mountains, where you can embark on fantastic hikes.

Enjoy a hearty snack

The entire Allgäu region is known for its distinctive cuisine. A hearty snack is, of course, an essential part of your holiday. The alpine dairies in the Allgäu produce everything from flavorful mountain cheese to delicate butter cheese. At the mountain huts, you can enjoy platters of snacks with butter and fresh bread. Tip: For a truly authentic alpine experience, visit the Schattwald-Rohrmoos alpine dairy, the Käseralpe dairy, and, of course, the Schlappold alpine dairy in the Fellhorn nature reserve.

Crossing the deepest rock gorge in Central Europe

If it happens to rain on your holiday, you're in for a real treat! The Breitachklamm gorge is an absolute must-see. While a trip to the Breitachklamm is possible in ANY weather, crossing this gorge after rain is at its most spectacular! The immense volume of water and the wildly roaring waterfall make it a truly special experience.
